Herbaceous, black currant leaf, black fruit, black plums, Chinese sour plums, slight savoriness. Plums, spices, herbal Chinese medicine, sour black fruit with lingering sweetness. Good complexity, but slightly hot, as if the flavors couldn't cover up the heat. Solid wine, definitely an aged Napa with more of a herbal complexity. 90-91

Well paired with flank steak and roasted potatoes. Typical CA Cabernet, not well balanced, medium finish with a reasonable dose of oak. Black fruits with an earthy mid palate. Could easily stand to cellar longer.

- Purple color with medium forming legs and aromas of bell pepper, hay/straw, tobacco, black currant and prune. It's balanced and has flavours of blackberry, hay/straw, mushroom and raspberry with a medium/full body. Smooth texture with a long finish.

BIg bold california cab. Lot's of big flavors. It is an explosion on the palate. Deep red purple color. Predominantly fruit with some chocolate and tobacco.

Great. Much better than I expected. Huge, lots of bold flavors and a long finish. Toasty but with good fruit.
